TRUISTA BALANCED AWAKENING ACRYLAMIDE FREE* COFFEE
v1.0
Our favorite morning brew for black coffee. Balanced Awakening opens with a soft yet striking lemon citrus profile, layered over a rich, chocolate-toned body. Think of it as the chardonnay of coffees, bright, structured, and effortlessly refined. A sweet, creamy finish rounds out the experience, while subtle brown spice notes emerge minutes after sipping, an elegant echo that lingers. It’s rare to find a coffee with both this level of brightness and fullness of body.
Much like fine wine, the flavors mentioned for each coffee are nuances that come naturally within the roasted bean itself. Truista coffees don’t have any added flavors.
BREW GUIDE
FAVORITE BREWER FOR THIS COFFEE: CHEMEX
AS ESPRESSO: Although not designed for espresso, the body in this blend is weighty enough that it’s worth playing around. For those who enjoy bright, citrus-forward espresso profiles, this could hit the mark. Just be ready for that zing.
AS COLD BREW: Exceptional. This blend is great as a cold brew either black or with cream.
BEYOND THE CUP: Balanced Awakening has a citrus-forward profile and creamy body that make it ideal for coffee ice cubes that chill without diluting. Reduce it into a simple syrup and you’ve got a stunning base for cocktails and desserts that lean into brightness—think lemon tarts, citrus spritzes, or even a twist on an Old Fashioned.
BEAN BASICS FOR BALANCED AWAKENING
Balanced Awakening is crafted with intention.
To enjoy it at its best, keep these tips in mind:
DEGASSING (RELEASE OF CO2): Wait at least 5 days after roast date before brewing. This rest lets CO2 escape, smoothing acidity and deepening body.
STORAGE: Air and light ruin freshness. Use a vacuum-sealed container or tightly roll the bag. Store in a cool, dark place.
REFRIGERATOR: Not Recommended. Beans absorb odors and moisture, dulling flavor.
FREEZER: Works for long-term storage (8+ weeks) if airtight. Balanced Awakening’s soft acidity holds up well.
